Social Constraints

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or constraints:

    Until the men of action clear out the talkers we who have social consciences are at the mercy of those who have none.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    The analogy between the mind and a computer fails for many reasons. The brain is constructed by principles that assure diversity and degeneracy. Unlike a computer, it has no replicative memory. It is historical and value driven. It forms categories by internal criteria and by constraints acting at many scales, not by means of a syntactically constructed program. The world with which the brain interacts is not unequivocally made up of classical categories.
    Gerald M. Edelman (b. 1928)
